jgilbert Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I have a 2010 ES. I installed my 16 gig Ipod on my ES and have been very frustrated by the software on the ES. First, I have 407 artists on my IPOD and several thousand songs. The software shows five artists at a time and forces you to page down, page by page by page to move between artists. Then, if you pause more than a second or two on any one page, it automatically starts playing music from the first artist on the page. Compared with the software on the IPOD itself, the Lexus software is TERRIBLE. Have any of you been frustrated by this? Any solutions?
SW03ES Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Very frustrating I agree. I have heard tell of a software update that does away with the auto-selection of the top song/artist/playlist...but when I asked the dealer about it they looked at me like I had three heads. Our Jeep has a better process for browsing within the iPod, but frustratingly doesn't remember what song/playlist it was set to when the Jeep is shut off and restarted. There's really no solution unfortunately...

SW03ES Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 LOL, I appreciate that! Its okay, my Mommy says it makes me special.
jgilbert Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 If you turn the knob on the right side of the audio system, it will scroll up and down your list of artists or songs, but this is still a very slow and clumsey option (but is better than pressing the page down button 100 times). If anyone else has any other suggestions on improving the ipod interface, let us know!

Why don't you share the information with us? I would like to avoid that Ipod problem.

Nobody's going to increase your warn status as long as you don't post rude, snide remarks to anybody and just share your information in a friendly and open manner, as the rest of us do. Anyways, how can you be afraid to respond to my comments when you just responded to my comments? In other words...respond away...just don't be a jerk.

Take a walk on the wild side. I would also like to hear your information. Go for it.
jgilbert Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 Really? I'll have to try that tomorrow... Steve, did it work for you?
SW03ES Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Yeah it works, but the interface is still clunky and slow.
